Explicit Texts Case Moves Forward

On Friday morning, Clarence Weber, 43 waived his preliminary hearing and was bound over to district court.

Weber was arrested in February on suspicion of online child enticement.

In early December, authorities said they learned that Weber had been sending inappropriate messages to two girls. Investigators said in the messages, he would also ask the girls to send photos of themselves.

Authorities said they recovered messages and documentation of more than 1,000 messages between Weber and the victims.

Weber's lawyer said his client will admit to texting, but believes the allegations are out of hand.

"I think there was a little overreaction in this case with respect to the communications," said James Martin Davis. "And while I think even Mr. Weber will admit some of it was probably appropriate, it didn't rise to the level of being a violation of the law and constituting a criminal offense."
